Had HTC for years and am new to Samsung. Picked up my S5 yesterday and can not get rid of the voicemail icon top of screen. Read somewhere to leave a voicemail and then clear it. After I leave a voice mail there is 2 voicemail icons. I can clear the one I just left by sliding it to the right or using the clear button but the other one is still there. I can clear all notifications except for this one. Powered down and on again, still there. What am I missing?
Got the same problem...its probly just from launch being yesterday...just like how long they took to activate...it will disapear soon imo
So....if u long press the notification in the notification bar app info will come up. Then just force close it and the icon will go away

Called Sprint and they said I am first to report this issue. If they hear more reports about it they might do a patch. Not holding breath but we will see.
I also called sprint and they said they had a ton of calls about it and are trying to figure out a solution.

Is this still an issue for people?

Thank you once again for that suggestion, hadn't worried about this issue for some time but noticed recently that if and when I deactivate the Notify clean xposed module, sure enough I do still have that same stupid erroneous persistent voicemail notification. Did anyone ever find any more permanent way of removing it? Or did it finally get resolved on its own for anyone? I'd hoped that with the ND2 some other updates we'd finally have this issue resolved but apparently not, at least on my device.

[SOLVED] Clearing the Voice Mail Icon (NO Factory reset needed)
First make sure that no voicemail messages are on both the phones voicemail and in the apps voicemail. Notification Icon is still present.
Second - go to Home button > Settings > Application Manager > Scroll to "All" > Voicemail > Clear Cache as well as Clear Data, then uninstall.
Third - Home button > Settings > Application Manager > Scroll to "All" > Phone > Clear Cache as well as Clear Data. Then Turn off, pulled battery, waited 10 secs, put battery back in, and booted up. If the notification is gone proceed to step 4. If not then repeat 1-3 (I didn't have to repeat 1-3).
Fourth - Install Visual Voicemail app for your carrier. Set it up. No notification. Problem fixed.
I did a reboot, no notification. Turned off, pulled battery, waited 10 secs, put battery back in, and booted up. No notification.
My guess is that if someone has a voicemail message that is unchecked, gets a new phone, and installs the app, the notification is stored in 2 places instead of 1. Therefor causing the problem of a notification not going away because you can't clear it from both places at the same time. I have a different carrier than Sprint but my guess is that this will be the same solution for everyone with a Samsung S5. If this doesn't work then my guess would be that there is another app installed on the phone that handles voicemail messages.
Cheers.

Where can I find the voicemail app in the manager if it doesn't show there?
Sorry about replying on an old thread. I have serious battery drain coming out of no where and it happened as soon as this voicemail problem began a few days ago.
Thanks
To start, I have lost access to the reaction video of my wife's first pregnancy announcement. So I would even be willing to make a donation to someone who can help me. (If that is against the rules, let me know)
I used an app from the Play store called Package Disabler Pro to disable some of the bloatware on my phone. In doing so, I disabled something necessary for Ultra Power Save Mode to function. (perhaps Touchwiz) I use Nova Launcher. I tried to show UPSM to a friend yesterday and was met with a black screen. The phone was still running, as I could get the notification window to drop down from swiping. But I had no option to leave UPSM in the settings. The settings that were listed were very limited. I tried everything and ended up soft restarting the phone. It booted back up into UPSM with black screen (no launcher). I finally started tinkering around with Recovery and cleared the cache. At some point, I don't know if it was caused by the cleared cache, it stopped booting fully. I now get stuck at the finished ATT boot animation.
I'm at a loss as to the next step. AFAIK there are no custom recoveries for Galaxy S6 Active yet. So pulling data from ADB in recovery is out. The only other option I have seen is a 'dirty' stock rom flash. But I don't even know if that is possible or will work. If there is anyone out there that has any clue what I should be doing, please help me. I need help. :crying:
Thank you.

I'd say give the stock a try. The stock tars for our regular S6 dont wipe data. Let this be a learning experience to backup important items to the cloud or thumb drive

Is there a distinction between using Stock Recovery to flash stock and using Odin? Stock Recovery warns that user data will be formatted. So I'm assuming that it wipes the user data partition. All that aside, does anyone even know how to get ahold of S6 Active tars?
Ah! I have this same problem right now. Note5. Haven't dug myself that far into the hole yet, and I somehow got out of nova launcher and into TouchWiz (safe mode boot probably), but im stuck in grayscale and can't do anything other than the limited settings options or make phone calls. No texting, internet, full settings access, quicksettings, or really any apps but contacts and phone.

Have tried starting the phone in Safe Mode? Thats what I'd try.
Try what sd_N suggested.
Turn your phone on by holding power button + volume down
When you get the samsung logo, release the power button but keep holding volume down all the way until you get lock screen.
If you are able to boot to safe mode then there's most likely something you have downloaded / something running during your regular boot that crashes / malfunctions.
- Renolz
I found a Solution for those who are still Stuck in Ultra Power Saving Mode.
Send an SMS to your number with Text "google.com"
Notification will appear.
Open the SMS and click the google.com link
Browser will open
Search for a Package DIsabler Software apk -ez disabler or package disabler pro etc.(You should pay the developer later)
Download and Install the app.
You will get Open Option right after Installation is finished.
Enable Emergency Launcher.
Press Home.
Voila, You can now exit UPSM without Factory Reset
Hi, I updated my HTC One M8 today (stock ROM) to Android 6 via an OTA update sent to the phone.
The update went fine - no error messages. But after the final reboot, I am getting constant (and I mean constant, not every few seconds) errors that all process are stopping. Particularly, after everything else has stopped, I get repeated messages about android.process.acore, android.process.media, Google Services Framework, and Google Play services unexpectedly stopping (I guess these are the ones that keep starting up and failing). By pressing "OK" or "close" on these messages, sometimes I can press something very quickly before another message pops up. In this ridiculous manner, I was able to do/find out the following:
- Pressing the home button shows me the white screen with "htc" written on it, like on phone startup
- Pressing the recent-apps button actually does show me the recent apps and I can click on them, though most of them just close right after I open them. Some work (like I can receive phone calls; I just don't hear the phone ring, and I have to press the "talk" button in between pressing OK on error messages)
- I can get into the settings screen. In this way, I tried:
- Disabling one by one every app I could - no help
- Clearing cache & data for all contact & calendar app I could find, and also for Google Services Framework
- I tried to remove my Google accounts from the "accounts and sync" menu, but whenever I press "Remove" it gives me the Google Services Framework has stopped error.
I also tried booting into the recovery screen and clearing the cache partition.
Nothing works!! Please can anyone help me save my phone without wiping it? Unfortunately, since I started the Android update by accident (pressed "now" instead of "later"), I didn't backup anything beforehand... and while my contacts and calendars are always backed up, my apps & preferences & media files are not. I also tried connecting to a computer via USB, but while the computer recognizes the phone, I cannot actually access the files (I see it as a drive, but when I open it there are no files or folders) - so no possibility to back up the files in that way...
Thank you!!

Good luck!
Very strange one... My wife's VZW Pixel (I have one too) suddenly experience a bunch of changes that we can't find the trigger for. I just spent a hour troubleshooting every possible thing and I am stumped...hoping for some guidance.
Known facts
1. She changed nothing
2. At least one app (siwftkey) auto-updated... I uninstalled it but that didn't fix it
3. She was on the December patch when this happened. I updated to Jan but that did nothing.
4. Device is stock, unrooted with Nova launcher (I tried the pixel launcher and the same issues appear)
Symptoms:
1. Home and recents buttons do not work on any screen... Back button still works
2. No notifications appear on the NAV bar and nothing appears when you swipe down. Sound notifications do work however. No apps are blocking notifications and the individual app notifications are set up properly
3. Double press the power button no longer goes to camera even though that gesture is toggled on
Factory reset is my next step but I am traveling right now and she will need me to set everything back up so I am hoping there might be a fix short of a full reset.
And suggestions greatly appreciated.

Last resort, you can backup apps and data using Helium, then factory reset it. Then restore with Helium. To use Helium, you'll need a PC though.
Any other results on this?? My pixel just hit the same problem! It is in an area that has no internet so it is causing all sorts of issues. I don't know if the two are related at all.

Unfortunately not... Did a factory reset and that cured it. Not one issue since then. Must have been so random app she downloaded that created a conflict.

Happens with me today. I was messing around with the device and when I clicked in a YouTube video link on notification shade the device suddenly soft reboot.
Since them, home and recentes buttons won't perform their actions. They still vibrate and home button animates on touch. Status bar shows none notification, even I knowing they are arriving via notification sound and quick settings shade won't pull down completely. My tiles was rearranged as well. No mobile connection either.
I'm running lattes official Oreo. Never unlocked and never rooted my pixel XL 128.
For me a factory reset through settings did the trick.
Would be very good if Google could light us about this issue. No rouge apps on my device. In fact I'm using a few
his is an Android issue.
Step instructions:
- Download Nova Launcher. If you cannot from the google play store, search for it on Chrome and download an apk version
- Install it (you may get a pop up advising you need to let apps installed from chrome, go to settings and allow it)
- Once installed, click on Open. This should launch the Nova Launcher
- Long press anywhere on the screen
- Choose Widgets.
- Look for the Activities widget and hold and place it anywhere on the screen.
- Scroll down to Setup Wizard. There's two, one that's "Setup Wizard" and the other "SetupWizard" without a space. Choose the first. There should be an option under it called ".SetupWizardUpgradeActivity". It might be slightly different for you pending the version OS you have but that's what came up for me.
- Select that to create the widget shortcut then click to open.
- This will bring you to the setup wizard and then just click Next all the way through (turn off any preferences you may have in the past)
You can uninstall Nova Launcher afterwards if you want. You don't need to set it as default.
Perfect!!! Thanks.
Hii there,
I was struggling to get the January Update for A1 so I looked upon many threads to find methods and devised a step by step process to force OTA updates.
METHOD 1 : (Minimal Risk)
1. Go to Settings > Apps and Notifications > App Info > 3 dot menu Icon > Show System
2. Look for Google Services Framework App.
3. Click Disable, If it asks it will delete all the data, Click cancel
4. Reboot your device and Re-Enable Google Services Framework App, wait for 5 mins for update to popup or manually check.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 again if no popup of update comes.
Thanks to @krazy_about_technology for testing and confirming the above method in this thread.
METHOD 2:
Please try and tell if it works..
Open the dialer and enter
*#*#CHECKIN#*#* or if I might say *#*#2432546#*#*
After that you will get a notification checkin succeeded. Tell me if it works or not..
OLD METHOD (Risky, might break push notifications) :
1. Go to Settings > Apps and Notifications > App Info > 3 dot menu Icon > Show System
2. Look for Google Services Framework App.
3. Open it and go to Storage > Clear Data.
4. Push back button once > Disable the app, force stop it then Enable again.
5. Reboot your device ( Important !)
6. Go to Settings > System Update > Hit check for updates (10- 15 times).
7. Update will pop up. Enjoy.
EDIT : If update doesn't popup wait 5-10 Mins.
WARNING : If this method starts some sort of catastrophe or increases Global warming, bricks your device,
your Xiaomi Mi A1 blasts, cathes fire, factory resets, earth stops revolving , moon comes closer to earth :laugh:, you don't receive gifts from your girlfriend anymore , the OP (me) is not responsible.
If something goes wrong after update from this method, you can factory reset your device from recovery or settings or Clear data from apps that stop receiving push notifications after update.
PS : I created this thread bcoz I thought it might be helpful, if it doesn't helps just vote 'Nah' and tell others, please don't spread hate. Peace Out :fingers-crossed: :silly:

Also more dangerous. The damage related to the Google framework can force you to make a Factory Reset. Breaking Google Play Services is not a good idea. If you want to force the update, there you go, but maybe wait a bit is better if you think in having a functional OS environment.
Correct method??? Where did You get that idea from???
Why bother and risk functionality by "forcing" update?
There are quite a few warnings from dev's and vendors regarding that method.
At least my phone notifies me when the update is available...
If that takes a day or two longer so what's the big deal???
Calm down and let the updates roll out as planned!

Still no problem. After all when you are already on a buggy update you can try risk your head afterall (random reboots :cough)

Correct method to "force" something wouldn't be that easy on your device though, so If you are impatient you can have a go. :silly:

Well... I don't do any clear on Framework and don't experience any "bugs" or "random restarts", "slow dialer" so what's Your point?
There ARE fair warnings regarding Your "correct way" to read... Just Goole it.
But anyway: Choice is Yours, but don't blame all weird behavior or "bugs" on OS...
I'm voting "No" because there's nothing "correct" about this method - on the contrary it breaks your phone and forces you to factory reset it afterwards.
Didn't work for me. (Tried several times)
I always updated by clearing google service framework data.. No issue for me.. Except one that gmail stop push notification for few days..
I did those steps, but without clearing the data for "google service framework". I force stopped, then disable it, restarted the phone, check for the update and there it was. The phone works without any issues with this method, in my case.
You (OP) should put some warning for people to test on their own risk because this is definitely not the right method. Google says to never clear data of google framework, so I think they know more then you. The only correct method is to wait for the update to show itself.

May i know whats the main issues we will face with this TRICK ?
Try Googling "clear google framework data".
As it states on few articles, You may end up running factory reset anyway!
But in the end, it's still Your choice!
On the other hand, what harm does it do to wait for the official rollout?
Loosing day or two...
This method always worked for me. But not working in case of January Security patch :/
It's normal to stop receiving push notifications but it's very easy to fix that. Uninstall those app which relies on push notifications and install again from PlayStore and everything will be fine again.
Clearing the Play Services Framework data couses serious issues as you know. I think this is the safest method to getting OTA update:

Just clearing the data of Google services framework does the job
